About this book
The History of Philosophy in Islam is a book by T. J. de Boer. The translator's prefatory note says the edition of the recent work of Dr. de Boer is produced in the hope that it may prove interesting to not a few English readers, and especially that it may be of service to younger students commencing to study the subject. The text says translation of the scientific literature of the Greeks into the Arabic tongue went forward, largely through the agency of Syrians. The text names the power of the Turkish soldiery and uprisings of city mobs and of peasant labourers among the causes or symptoms of the downfall of the empire.
The text says the philosophy in which Farabi was initiated sprung from the school of Merv. The text says that by nature the soul is devoid of knowledge, yet by nature it has the power of reflecting on the experience which is given. The text says logic does not produce knowledge, and that it points out how we arrive at knowledge.
